Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said the team will do everything they can to complete the remaining objectives of the season as they travel to the north bank of the river to face Tottenham Hotspur.  

This will be Crystal Palace's final Premier League game before the 2025 FA Cup final and manager Oliver Glasner said in his pre-match press conference that he hopes both teams can give their best performance in the battle for league points.  

Oliver Glasner said: "The current focus is to go all out to prepare for the upcoming games. We hope to play at the highest level the team deserves. I believe that Angel Postecoglou also has high standards for his players. They need to always maintain their best condition in training and games to be fully prepared for the upcoming finals. We are also responding to the current challenges in the same way."  

"The players have shown concentration and determination in daily training. Our current focus is entirely on the match against Tottenham, not the upcoming FA Cup final. The team is currently preparing carefully to ensure that we have the possibility of winning away against Tottenham. After the game, we will immediately turn to preparing for the final against Manchester City."  

Although Crystal Palace is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League standings, the team's points performance cannot be underestimated. Oliver Glasner said that the team's current goal is to break the team's record for the highest points in a single season.  

Oliver Glasner said: "The team was not fully prepared for the pre-season due to some unexpected factors at the beginning of the season, but since then, the team has taken one step at a time and performed as it should. Crystal Palace deserves its current points and ranking, which is the result of the players' hard work, not any gift from the outside world."  

“I have great respect for every coach and player who has reached the Europa League final. Spurs had injuries and a lot of games to play, and I think they overcame a lot of challenges. Although this is normal in coaching, I especially admire Ange Postecoglou and the way he handled it.”  

"I know it's not easy, especially when you lose seven to 10 starters in a season. The players put in a lot of work on the training ground. Although there are always reasons to look for, there is usually no single factor that causes this kind of situation, otherwise everyone can find a way to solve it.  

“I don’t know why Tottenham are suffering from injuries, but it looks like many players are fit now. However, I think James Maddison is injured and will miss the rest of the season.”  

"I remember we mentioned this problem at the beginning of the season, when England participated in the 2024 European Cup finals and many national team players had almost no time to rest. I think this is also a price that the players have to face, because they can't get enough recovery time and eventually pay the price of injury."  

"For us and the teams that didn't participate in the Club World Cup, fortunately it is summer now and the players can get the rest and recovery they deserve. I hope this will have a positive effect and reduce injuries next season."  

“Even though it’s almost the cup final, for us, training and match preparations are still going on as normal. We are working hard every day on the training ground and preparing for the next game through discussions and meetings. We really want to reach the final and we enjoy this positive pressure, which can bring us a lot of positive motivation.”
